Colorado River Rafting

Rafting Colorado

Rafting the Colorado River, Poudre River, Clear Creek and others is popular in summer. Choose to ride the whitewater rapids, or float down a more quiet river.

The headwaters of the mighty Colorado start in Rocky Mountain National Park and feed the American Southwest.

The Cache La Poudre is Colorado's only designated wild and scenic river. It's north of Rocky Mountain National Park running through Roosevelt National Forest and Colorado State Park from Cameron Pass toward Fort Collins.
